And next week, the region will receive another 150 trial doses of the Sputnik Light vaccine. Regular supplies of the drug allow the Sakhalin region to maintain a leading position in the country in terms of vaccination per capita. Since the start of the massive vaccination campaign, 29 thousand people from almost half a million residents of the region have supplied the vaccine, which reduces the likelihood of another wave of the spread of coronavirus.
